Gun control is a controversial topic, and to some it may be difficult to understand. I’m writing to give you a 360 degree overview of the topic. I do not believe guns should be banned whatsoever.

(death penalty.org) In other words, 1.1 in 10 prisoners in the death row are innocent. Some of them get reimbursed by suing the state government for putting their lives in…
